The Dark Knight is based on the Batman
comics, but most of its influences come from
Batman: The Long Halloween, according to screenwriter David S. Goyer.
It is set to hit theaters in Summer 2008, but the anticipation over
the first full-length preview release is already building. The
preview is expected to debut when I Am Legend is released this
coming Friday. Until then, I will share with you the official movie
poster that was released last Tuesday, as well as some trivia I found
on IMDb.com about the upcoming sequel to Batman Begins. Don't
forget to use our “What's My Item Worth” section for a comic
book price guide.
Hugh Jackman, Ryan Phillippe, Liev
Schrieber, and Josh Lucas expressedAs a joke, one bat suit was made with
nipples. It was presented to Christian Bale as the real bat suit, but
he knew instantly it was a joke, having seen a few design pictures
during preproduction. He did pose for some publicity photos in the
“nipple” suit.This is the first Batman film not to have
“Batman” in the title.
At the time when the Penguin was
rumored to be in the movie, Bob Hoskins appeared as a fan favorite.
He stated that he would have loved to protray the role and work with
Christopher Nolan, calling him a fantastic director. Nolan then
stated he had no intention of using the Penguin, calling him a too
far-fetched character.
Robin Williams, Lachy Hulme, Paul
Bettany, and Adrien Brody all expressed interest for the role of the
Joker before Heath Ledger was cast. Sean Penn was the original
choice.
When asked, “Why Heath Ledger as the Joker?”
Christopher Nolan said, “Because he's fearless.”
Turning
down a salary estimated at between $1 million and $2 million – an
increase over the roughly $1 million she was believed to have earned
for Batman Begins (2005) – Katie Holmes chose not to reprise her
role as Rachel Dawes. This was due to what was described as
'scheduling conflicts'.
Jerry Robinson, who is credited as one
of the original creators of the Joker, served as a consultant on the
film.
Before Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes in the
role of Rachel Dawes, both Rachel McAdams and Emily Blunt were
rumored for the part.
While filming on the streets of Chicago
in April 2007, the filming was carried out under the fake movie title
“Rory's First Kiss”. Fliers regarding the filming carried this
fake title, complete with a fake “RFK” logo for the movie and an
address for the film's production offices.
One of the extra's
military uniforms has the name “Philo” on it, after the film's
extras casting director, Joan Philo.
